Product Description
Animated double bill. 'Urotukidoji - Legend of the Overfiend' is a feature-length version of the Japanese comic strip. Every three thousand years the superfiend Chojin visits the Earth to unite the three worlds of the humans, the Man-Beasts (Jyujinkai) and the Monster Demons (Makai), thus forming the Land of Eternity. However, when Man-Beast Amano learns what a sickening place the world will become as a result - full of violence and supernatural forces - he vows to prevent the process from taking place. In 'Urotsukidoji II - Legend of the Demon Womb', Amano attempts to seek out the superfiend Chojin. Nagumo has been behaving strangely, and Takeaki has undergone a personality change since his blood transfusion. The embodiment of Chojin could be anywhere, and the interference of the evil and manipulative Myunhi just makes matters worse.

Well once again british censorship has distroyed a great anime. Some may not realise that the overfiend series in its total has been edited for british realise by about 2 hours. The overfiend series is one of the best in its genre boasting some excellent examples of quality animation and unusual storyline. But I as stated previously to watch it in its full glory you need the unedited version. The first film for example offers you scattered scenes and really it has been edited to the point where it no longer makes sense. It saddens me to think that some have not and never will see these films for what they are.... truly amazing!!!

If you are a fan of urotsukidoji DONT BUY THIS, This version is badly butchered and censored and is missing the japanese voices, That would not be so bad if the dubbed voices were any good but they arent, I have never seen a subbed manga with voices this bad actually. I have seen the first movie uncut/uncensored and it beats this version by FAR very FAR.

I heard about this a year or so back, and decided to purchase a copy. Boy was I amazed! The storyline is confusing to say the least, but unique, powerful and totally original! The animation is mostly very impressive, sometimes a little lazy...but creative.
However don't assume just because it's a cartoon that it's suitable for kids. this isn't really suitable for adults, which is why it's been cut and edited in various places to lessen the very explicit adult and rape scenes. I mean, would you want you kid to watch a teenage girl get raped by multiple tenticle type objects spawned from an alien disquised as a teacher? didn't think so. As for the violence, theres bags of it. Blood runs in all directions, squirts in different colours and gunges out of alien after alien. So why watch this obscene film if it's so explicit?
Well, firstly it's not gratuatous. It's over the top but it's an over the top film, and set in an over the top world, where theres no law, order, and nothing to stop one hundred foot monsters invading our planet from two other worlds and taking away the virginities of innocent girls.
The story is this. There are three worlds. Ours, the demon world and the man beast world. once every 3 thousand years the three worlds unite in battle, one man is chosen as the chojin, the one who is to unite us. Demons roam onto outr world and man beasts team up with- oh i give up! It's very hard to explain! Just watch it yourself!
thanks for reading!

Adult cartoon mayhem.
Oldskool but outstanding action from manga. Basic story line but the action makes up for it...not for the faint hearted or squeamish.
